I've been frustrated by the normal photo and video camera modes in the 22 Ultra when doing close up photos or videos. It seems like the lens will repeatedly shift mid video or as I am trying to get a photo. I believe this can be bypassed in the pro modes, but I was wondering if there was a way to lock the lens or something similar in the normal modes, as I don't always want to use the pro modes. It also seems to happen far more often on my phone than on my partner's phone, also a 22 ultra. I attached a video of the problem in Drive here:

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Could it be the setting under the camera settings > Camera Assistant > auto lens switching?

Had a screenshot, but the app won't take the upload.

Download Camera Assistant from Galaxy store and then disable "Auto lens switching" You may also have to download "Good Lock" for the app to work but not sure if it is necessary, just install Camera Assistant first.

Yes turn that off. You don't want the camera deciding.
